Blacklist League #1 has come to an end - congrats bradpark22!
League #2 will begin as soon as we have a full league again! - first choice goes to those that were in league #1

How it works is each person signing up picks 2 people to black list - a forward, a defenseman and a goalie. This means nobody can draft any versions of those people for their league.

At the end of the league, all the names on the leader board are added to the blacklist. We will now be adding all the names from the previous league that were blacklisted, plus the league leaders will be added to be blacklisted!
Then, when people sign up for the next version (Blacklist #2) they again pick 3 players to blacklist. By the time you get to the end of several seasons, the blacklist is huge.

I gotta play again after being upset in the finals there. But in the thread for the first league you said we were only picking 3 players for that league, and everyone would choose just one for each following league? I think it makes more sense that way because if too many goalies are blacklisted we will see alot of the same faces in the coming seasons... just my two cents. In

Upset?...:) i'm back to defend the cup. D-Doug Harvey; F-Jacques Lemaire; G-Mike Richter. I'd suggest not automatically blacklisting the league leaders-let owners choose them-keep a little more variety for a season or two.

This was actually how the original was run - with the league leaders being blacklisted. The variation I added though was owners pick 3 (one each category). This will force picking goalies that nobody wants for some interesting teams.

After this season, I'll take a look and see how many goalies left and if too few, I'll move it back to only one person.

No offense intended. PT winner losing to 7th seed generally would be seen as an upset in real life.

none taken. I've been on the wrong end of a 1 v 7, 1v 8 upset to know it just shouldn't happen-but that's the sim-it happens too often
